Backing Up Your Cluster
The need for cluster backup is essential for both business-critical and
non-business-critical data. As data becomes an increasingly valued company
asset, it needs to be backed up on a regular basis. The process of backing up
data will ensure that a company’s assets are secure and available when a
disaster strikes. The cluster itself provides a high degree of application
availability but does not prevent a user from deleting or corrupting a file or set
of files. Backing up a cluster’s data will increase the overall level of data
availability.
